KGSWishlist/ Discussion 2

Sub-page of KGSWishlist

This page discusses how we should change KGSWishlist.

I'm starting a new page because the old one has become so filled up with obsolete material and replies that are out of context that it's hard to keep the overview. This page only lists the open issues. I try to keep it out of the "I said - you said" paradigm by keeping all information in pro and contra lists. It doesn't really matter who wrote which argument.

We agree that

The following questions remain open:

Table of contents

Structure

Should we distinguish between wishes and issues?

Pro:

Contra:

Much of our differences are rooted in this disagreement. Maybe we should clarify this first before continuing with the rest. In the rest of the page I preliminarily use the term "wish_or_isue" where appropriate.

Should we have a common element (prefix) in the name of wishlists and of wish_or_isues?

This depends on the decision for the previous question.

Pro:

            title like "KGS Wish*" AND text like "*MyWishOrIssue*"

Contra:

            title like "KGS*" AND text like "*MyWishOrIssue*"
Such a search will typically not yield more than a couple pages, since there are less than 100 pages containing "KGS" in the title to begin with. Conversely, a more exact search is more likely to overlook relevant pages. The search couln't be any more effective than it already is!

Options for handling discussion of individual wish_or_isues

We agree that we don't want wish_or_isues to be discussed on the wishlist itself to keep that list clean. That leaves the following options:

Discuss them on the wishlist/discussion page

Pro:

Contra:

Discuss them on a wishlist/specificwish##discussion page

Pro:

Contra:

Discuss them on the wish_or_issue page

Pro:

Contra:

Discuss them on the wish_or_issue/discussion page

Pro:

Contra:

IMO the appropriate would be to discuss them on the wish_or_issue page.


I had been concerned with the same work as you, for nearly one hour, when the display finally said "Attention: someone else might just be editing this page!". AarrgghH. I'll answer yours later. (Pretty good job, though!)

(Sebastian:) I'm sorry. On this page? I let the "seconds until edit warning for other users disappears" run down to 0 several times, but I never got any warning that someone else was working on it. This also happened on the /Discussion1 page, but i didn't change so much there except for some direct replies. If it was that page pls feel free to replace my version with yours. rubilia: No, it was this one. ~__~ Perhaps the fact that the page didn't exist yet might have been the reason that no warning was shown to any of us? I don't know. Anyway, I got over it - not at least because this page looks fine now, nevertheless. :)
